Abstract

A gate device disposed between a first space where a person waiting for passing through exists and a second space where a person already passed through exists, the device including: a gate main body disposed along a path through which the person existing in the first space passes when the person moves to the second space; and a shutter for blocking or opening the path. Furthermore, in plan view, a width of a first end portion positioned on a first space side in a short direction is narrower than a width of a second end portion positioned on a second space side in the short direction of the gate main body.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A gate device disposed between a first space, where people wait to pass through, and a second space, where people have already passed through, the device comprising:
a gate main body disposed along a path a person in the first space takes to the second space; and
a first display screen embedded within the gate main body at a first end portion positioned on a first space side, the first display screen indicating whether or not to enter the gate device,
wherein the first display screen is switchably rotatable in a horizontal direction among a plurality of different positions relative to the gate main body.

2. The gate device of claim 1 ,
wherein the first end portion and a second end portion have a substantially arc shape in plan view, and
wherein a curvature radius of the first end portion is smaller than a curvature radius of the second end portion.

3. The gate device of claim 1 , wherein:
in plan view, a width of the first end portion in a short direction of the gate main body is narrower than a width of a second end portion positioned on a second space side in the short direction of the gate main body.

4. The gate device of claim 3 , further comprising:
an operating portion for controlling a rotation position of the first display screen.

5. The gate device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second display indicating an operation state of the person with respect to the gate device,
wherein the second display is switchably rotatable independently of the first display screen, in a horizontal direction among a second plurality of different positions with respect to the gate main body.

6. The gate device of claim 5 ,
wherein a pole having a camera for monitoring a person passing through the path is disposed on an upper surface of the gate main body, and
wherein the second display is disposed on a side surface of the pole.

7. A gate device arrangement structure, in which a plurality of gate devices are disposed between a first space, where people wait to pass through, and a second space, where people have already passed through, wherein:
each of the plurality of gate devices comprises:
a gate main body disposed along a path a person in the first space takes to the second space;
a first end portion positioned on a first space side;
a display screen embedded within the gate main body at the first end portion and being switchably rotatable in a horizontal direction among a plurality of different positions relative to the gate main body, wherein:

two gate devices are disposed so that respective first end portions face each other,
the respective first end portions of the two gate devices are connected so as to block a movement of a person, and
one or more gate devices other than the two gate devices is arranged in parallel with either one of the two gate devices so that the first space is widened as the gate devices are away from the two gate devices.

8. The gate device arrangement structure of claim 7 ,
wherein a space where an examiner, who monitors a recognition state, performs work is disposed at a place facing side surfaces of the two gate devices.

9. The gate device of claim 1 , wherein the first display screen is a liquid crystal display.

10. The gate device of claim 5 , wherein the second display includes a light emitting diode.
